Hello!

I allowed myself to update that part. Original was made by Steve Bliss.

Look at the result by yourself. At higher quality the part has an even
smaller file size
than the original (about 4 kb smaller).

I hope this is ok for you ... Steve?

In general, it's OK for me.  I never mind someone coming up with better
versions of files I did.

And this file looks better than the original!

But (also in general), BMP2DAT is not the way to go with patterns.  DAT
just doesn't handle raster patterns very well.

What I really would like to see is a vector/polygon version of this
pattern.  I'm actually working on one; I've got all the easy parts done
(the black and yellow).  I'm pulling out LDS/LDSShell to work on the silver
and blue.  Let me see what I can do; I'll post results.
